Reading, Writing, Phonics Tutor

Tutor
in Gibsonia

I am a Reading, Writing, & Phonics Tutor; Orton - Gillingham Certified.
Specializing in the areas of dyslexia, ADD, & ADHD.
The program I use focuses on five components essential for effective reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, fluency, and comprehension. In addition children also learn: phonemes and morphemes, such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots. I introduce them to common spelling rules.
The Orton Gillingham method is flexible enough to fit the needs of all types of learners since it is a multi-sensory approach incorporating auditory, kinesthetic and visual.
This approach is not only beneficial to students with dyslexia, but to all students looking to improve their reading/writing skills.
The way I put together my lessons are to meet the student where he/she is in the learning process and then work to bring the student forward. I am able to work alongside what is being taught in the classroom.
Feel free to contact me anytime with questions.
